England coach Fabio Capello won't consider Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney for their friendly with Spain.

Rooney will be missing when England take on world champions Spain at Wembley next month, and when Capello announces his starting line-ups for the friendlies that follow the 25-year-old will not be in those either.

"Rooney will not play against Spain. I want to test new players, a new style and different movement," said Capello.

"Sometimes he will come on at half-time. But not from the start. He will not start.

"We need to prepare the first XI who will start in the Euros.

"I have got a lot of forwards at this moment, really good forwards, and I need to find the best solution."
